Some CISOs might see industry regulators as an obstacle to their objectives, but not Jorges Fernandez, CISO & DPO for the Portuguese Securities & Exchange Commission, CMVM, and active participant on multiple regulatory bodies.

In this episode of Brass Tacks - Talking Cybersecurity, Jorge shares his unique experience and perspective as both regulator and regulated entity, explaining how open collaboration and transparency are key to reducing the impact of cybersecurity incidents, not just within an organization, but across the entire sector.

He and host, Joe Robertson, also discuss shaping perceptions of the security team, limiting the emergence of Shadow IT, the business impact of regulations such as the EU’s Digital Operational Resilience Act, DORA, and the responsibility of vendors to ensure "Security by Design" in the products they provide.

In the latest episode of Brass Tacks - Talking Cybersecurity, #Fortinet's Filippo Cassini delves into the anatomy of effective cybersecurity posture and discuss how increasing network and security complexity is driving a shift from the selection of security components on a best-of-breed basis to an integrated platform approach.

Today's SecOps teams not only have to make sense of ever-increasing volumes of IoC (indicators of compromise) and other event data, but they need to respond faster and more efficiently to escape the heavy non-compliance penalties of new regulations.

These challenges are explored with fascinating insights into the inner-workings of modern cybercrime and the potential role of new technologies such as AI, LLMs, and the opportunities for automation they enable.

The buck stops here—or does it? How much should former US President, Harry S Truman's famous slogan apply to the role of CISO?

In this episode of Brass Tacks - Talking Cybersecurity, host Joe Robertson is joined by Raffaele Maresca, Global CISO at AkzoNobel, for an illuminating discussion of the evolving role of the CISO. Rather than pinning ultimate responsibility for all cyber risk on the CISO, Raffaele argues that once risks have been identified, quantified, and a plan of action agreed for their reduction, it should then be up to asset owners to ensure adherence to the agreed plan.

He then shares approaches that have proved effective in managing the expectations of non-technical board members who often have a more binary, "is my business at risk or not?", attitude to cybersecurity.

Whatever your role in today's digital world, don't miss this broad and fascinating discussion."

How do you securely network a "Smart City" that has to be rebuilt over a hundred times each year in different locations around the world, and with no more than a few days of annual downtime?

In this episode of Brass Tacks - Talking Cybersecurity, host Joe Robertson meets with Michael Cole, Chief Technology Officer for the European Tour Group, to discuss the unique challenges of running over a hundred, high-tech, international golf tournaments each year.

While not disputing the importance of board-level buy-in and top-down engagement for cybersecurity, Michael also stresses the importance of bottom-up awareness campaigns in which every staff member is valued as a first line of defense - a "human firewall."

In this way, he argues, cybersecurity - far from being driven by the relentless march of digital innovation - becomes an enabler of sustainable business innovation and growth.

Welcome to Brass Tacks - Talking Cybersecurity, the latest Fortinet podcast series where we discuss the business implications of cybersecurity.

In this predominantly business-focused episode of Brass Tacks - Talking Cybersecurity, our host, Joe Robertson, talks to Mark Child, Associate Research Director for European Security at IDC, about the elevation of cybersecurity as a board-level priority and the various trends that are driving this. Together they discuss the evolving reputational capital of the CISO and their role in translating cyber risk into business risk in terms that board-level executives can understand. With reference to high-profile examples where failures to adequately assess such risk led to catastrophic reputational, operational and strategic costs - in some cases running to hundreds of millions of dollars - the discussion then turns to some of the proven strategies used by today's leaders to properly quantify risk as a holistic whole across all environments within the organization.
